Jimmy Fallon returns to The Tonight Show studio for the 1st time in months
Jimmy Fallon isn't working from home anymore.
Fallon's The Tonight Show, which has been broadcast from his house since March, this week began once again filming at the show's Rockefeller Center studio in New York City. He's the first of the late night hosts to resume production in his studio during the COVID-19 pandemic, Deadline reports, though Conan O'Brien recently began filming his show at the Largo at The Coronet in Los Angeles. Like Conan, The Tonight Show still doesn't have an audience, and according to Deadline, a "majority" of Fallon's staff will continue working from home.

Fallon also offered a "thank you" to those who helped New York City, which recently reported no new COVID-19 deaths for the first time in months, get "back to where we are now." Still, as the U.S. continues to set records for number of new COVID-19 cases, to those states like Florida and Arizona experiencing a surge in infections, Fallon said, "I guess I'm here to show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel if we all do our part to keep each other safe."
Celebrating a new sense of "normalcy" for the show, Fallon went on to mark the occasion by singing, "It’s Beginning to Look a Bit like Normal." Watch his return below. Brendan Morrow
